Context
The project engineer requested me to perform Revit concept modelling to create a credible concept model that could carry into later design—beyond “3D-only” outputs with low integrity.
My role
Initially, the consultant hired me to grow their BIM capability whereby I filled several roles. On this job, I filled the role of BIM Modeller — Revit production & standards alignment (single-person delivery).
Work delivered
I performed geolocation + federation by acquiring the location from a Civil 3D site platform, produced a federated concept model featuring 45 new snappable families as is good practice for Revit concept modelling, and implemented phasing for three staging levels to raise the usability of the model as a 4D model.
Thereafter, I created several views for the model, 2D, 3D and perspective to generate accompanying concept drawings that the project team used in activities such as client discussions, costing, scope considerations, and company demonstrations.
Numbers
The following are some stand-out features of the project:
- Team of 1
- ~ 724 model objects
- 45 new families.
Outcome
The Revit concept model became the basis for follow-on design work, that was eventually used by other modellers to produce the detail design. The endeavour also demonstrated a repeatable Revit approach for this project type growing organization capability.

Do you similarly need a concept model that’s geolocated, structured, and usable for design development?
